How can we get Apple to address bent iPhone 5 problem?
I have a bent iPhone 5. The device had gentle wear and was enclosed in protective case. AT&T told me the bending indicates a manufacturer's defect and I should get a replacement from Apple, but Apple's online and Apple Store representatives refuse to accept responsibility. They will not acknowledge that the alumiumum frame is inherently fragile, more so than previous iPhone frames, and the device requires a higher level of caution.
Consumers around the world report the same problem. See below.

Apple promoted this device in part as a triumph of engineering. Thinner, yet very strong.
So what does it take to pressure Apple to acknolwedge this product defect? And make good with its customers?
